WHAT IREX DELIVERS
Face Recognition
That Knows Its Limits
Face Recognition
That Knows Its Limits
Ethical Face Recognition monitors watchlists, identifies suspects, detects facial attributes, and builds court-ready evidence — on the cameras you already own.
High Performance.
Full Context
Full Context
#1 Match suspects against watchlists — across 100,000s of cameras
Ethical Face Recognition monitors watchlists in real time across every connected camera simultaneously. The engine is trained on a proprietary dataset of 40 million images optimized for CCTV conditions — adverse angles, partial occlusion, low light. Configurable confidence thresholds per camera. Every match logged automatically with operator identity and Case ID.
#2 Identify by attributes — even without a suspect photo
Returns matches for partial plates, incorrect characters, or natural-language vehicle descriptions via Searchveillance™. Proprietary descriptor clustering indexes billions of vehicles for sub-second retrieval.
#3 Continue the track — even when the face is not visible
Detects make, model, color, and type — including motorcycles and two-wheelers — and identifies vehicles even when the plate is obscured or missing. IREX correlates both plate and vehicle context, so investigators see the full picture, not just a plate crop.
#4 Every match logged — before the officer arrives on scene
Routes alerts via Sover to the right officer — plate photo, camera location, timestamp, and live video link — the moment a watchlist match is detected. No monitoring required. Response begins in seconds.
HOW IT WORKS
How IREX Ethical Face Recognition Works
Connect to any existing IP camera
IREX integrates with any existing IP camera — Axis, Hanwha, Dahua, Bosch, Pelco, and any ONVIF Profile S device. If it streams today, Ethical Face Recognition connects without hardware changes or a new procurement cycle.
Scan every frame in real time against watchlists
The IREX vision engine processes every frame from every connected camera simultaneously. Faces detected in the frame are matched against all active watchlists in real time. Configurable confidence thresholds ensure alerts fire only when match quality meets your department's standard — no false positives, no missed matches.
Match confirmed — alert routes instantly via Sover
The moment a match is confirmed, an alert routes to the designated officer via Sover — with face crop, camera name, location, live video link, and confidence score. No officer needs to be watching a monitor. The alert arrives, the officer responds.
Every action logged with operator identity and Case ID
Every query, every alert, every match — logged automatically with timestamp, operator identity, and Case ID. Supervisors and auditors can review the full history at any time. Court-ready evidence packages are auto-assembled and exportable without additional steps.
Use Cases for IREX Ethical Face Recognition
From real-time crime centers to corrections facilities — Ethical Face Recognition operates across the full spectrum of US public safety operations.
DESIGNED, NOT CLAIMED
Face Recognition Built to Know Its Limits
Every competitor claims to be ethical. IREX built six operational constraints into the platform itself — so ethics isn't a policy document, it's how the system works.
-
Full TransparencyEvery search, database addition, and alert is logged in a detailed, non-erasable audit trail — automatically linked to a Case ID and fully searchable by supervisors and
ethics committees. - Narrow ConstraintsAlert-based monitoring targets only pre-identified persons — wanted suspects, missing children. Ethical Face Recognition does not recognize or track random individuals. No mass surveillance.
No fishing expeditions. - Permission-Driven InterfaceWatchlists, match alerts, and search results are visible only to users with sufficient role-based permissions.
No operator can access data
beyond their authorized scope — enforced at the platform level. - Bias AwarenessIREX participates in the NIST Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) — the most rigorous independent benchmark used by US law enforcement and government agencies to evaluate
face recognition systems for
accuracy, bias, and demographic fairness. - Cybersecurity & PrivacyA secure private cloud architecture built on open-source components. End-to-end data protection. Data stays in your jurisdiction — IREX never touches your video from a third-party cloud.
- Ethics Best PracticesIREX collaborates with leading experts to develop user guidelines, audit processes, and compliance checklists covering data creation, access, storage, and sharing — updated as standards evolve.

REAL-TIME CRIME CENTERS
RTCC operators monitor suspect watchlists across hundreds of cameras simultaneously — without watching every feed. Match confirmed: alert routes instantly via Sover with face crop, camera location, and live video link. Every alert tied to a Case ID for inter-agency coordination and court-ready documentation. No false positives. No missed suspects.
AIRPORTS & TRANSIT
Dublin Airport deploys Ethical Face Recognition for suspect recognition against watchlists across terminal and gate areas — processing thousands of daily passengers continuously. Every alert routes to security staff with full context, no manual monitoring required.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Wanted individuals appear in a camera's field of view — alert reaches the right officer in seconds with face crop, camera location, and live video link. When a suspect moves beyond face-visible range, Person Re-Identification continues the track automatically under the same Case ID.
CORRECTIONS & JAILS
Ethical Face Recognition monitors perimeters, controlled access points, and visitation areas — matching individuals against watchlists in real time. Known gang members, wanted persons, and unauthorized visitors are flagged the moment they appear on camera. Every alert logged with operator identity and Case ID.
MISSING PERSONS
IREX works with the National Child Protection Task Force (NCPTF) to help locate missing and trafficked children. A face added to the watchlist triggers immediate citywide monitoring across all connected cameras — alerts flow to investigators the moment a match is detected, anywhere on the network.
STADIUMS & VENUES
IREX monitors banned fan watchlists across stadium entrances and perimeter cameras in real time. Match detected — alert routes to gate security before the individual passes through. Every action logged with timestamp and operator identity for compliance and review.
United States
Officers detect traffic congestion and incidents, weapons in public spaces, and monitor for sex offenders and unauthorized loitering near sensitive locations. The integration with local law enforcement databases enables real-time suspect matching, while the traffic analytics module helps manage congestion and identify violations across busy urban corridors.
Peru
Peru's National Police (PNP) and municipal forces across Lima and Miraflores use IREX as the backbone of national public safety operations. Ethical Face Recognition monitors suspect watchlists across thousands of cameras simultaneously — unified under centralized command with real-time collaboration between national and local agencies.
Ireland
Dublin Airport deploys IREX for integrated airport security across terminals and gate areas. Ethical Face Recognition performs continuous suspect recognition against watchlists in a high-throughput environment processing thousands of passengers daily — with unattended luggage detection and crowd monitoring running in parallel on the same infrastructure.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
IREX monitors banned fan watchlists across stadium entrances and perimeter cameras in real time. Match detected at the gate — security alerted before entry. Every match logged with timestamp, operator identity, and case reference for compliance and post-event review. Crowd density monitoring runs in parallel.
